    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine combining thirty-two virtual cores, local SSD storage, and moderate multi-threaded performance for enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D32_v3 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8171M processor with 32 dedicated vCPUs, 16 physical cores, and 128.0 GB of RAM. Running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, it includes a bundled 819 GB local SSD. Benchmark data reveals a performance tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and single-threaded compression tasks are weak, placing in the bottom 10% to 25%, whereas multi-core operations, software compilation, and memory bandwidth consistently rank in the average tier. The system delivers average throughput for Redis operations, database tasks, and static web serving. This hardware profile provides a balanced resource density suitable for multi-threaded workloads, including database hosting, web serving, and general-purpose application environments that do not require high single-threaded performance.

    Workload Profiles

    1Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
